Lin Yuan on the helicopter was looking at the information of the Qing army coach Ye Zhichao. During the Battle of Pyongyang, Ye Zhichao led his troops to abandon Pyongyang and prepare to withdraw to the country. They were ambushed by the Japanese army on Uiju Avenue and suffered heavy casualties. In the law, "the general guarding the border was besieged by thieves, and the city wall could not stick to it, but abandoned it, so those who fell into the city wall were beheaded." Ye Zhichao was sentenced to beheaded by the prison marquis, and was later pardoned.

At this time, Ye Zhichao gathered the old troops in Pyongyang and assembled in Jiulian City, an important town on the border between China and North Korea. After reading his materials, Lin Yuan had a clear idea of ​​how to negotiate, so he put the materials aside. For some reason, he suddenly remembered Shen After Wan Qing returned to the ship, because there was no evidence to prove her true identity, she was temporarily restricted from moving. She acted calmly, but her calmness made Lin Yuan feel very uncomfortable.

The helicopter landed outside Jiulian City. Lin Yuan originally wanted to wear the clothes of ordinary people in the Qing Dynasty, but after thinking about it, Ye Zhichao was also a member of the imperial court. How could he see himself as a commoner, so he put on a suit and looked When I go up, I think of a gentleman who has stayed abroad.

Lin Yuan's attire was too conspicuous, he was stopped by several soldiers as soon as he walked to a place with people, as the saying goes: "A man depends on his clothes, a Buddha depends on his gold clothes".When several soldiers saw Lin Yuan dressed like this, they knew that he was a rich and powerful person, and seeing that he had no braids on his head, a well-informed soldier thought that this man might be a foreigner. In those days, foreigners were Not to be trifled with.

Lin Yuan walked up to the soldiers in a grand manner, and said carelessly: "Is Ye Da fool there?"

The soldiers were all dumbfounded when they heard that, "Ye Big Idiot" was Ye Zhichao's nickname in his early years, because Ye Zhichao was extremely brave in battle, like an idiot who didn't know pain or tiredness, so he got such a nickname. , It is very impolite to call someone by their first name. It can usually be understood as a prelude to a fight, let alone the nickname of the coach!

The soldiers dared to call him this nickname in private, but this strangely dressed man dared to call him that in public, which showed that he was not an ordinary person, and the soldiers did not dare to be negligent, so they reported it layer by layer, and Lin Yuan soon saw Ye Zhichao.

At this time, Ye Zhichao was sitting on pins and needles. Although he knew that the Japanese army did not have the courage to pursue him across the border, he was afraid of the punishment of the Qing court. If you speak ill of him in front of the Holy One, it's no wonder that the Holy One didn't kill him in order to appease the anger of the public.

When Lin Yuan saw Ye Zhichao, he greeted Ye Zhichao with a smile, and reached out his hand to shake his hand. When Ye Zhichao saw this, he believed in his heart that Lin Yuan was a person who had stayed abroad. In those days, anyone who was able to study abroad should not be messed with.

Ye Zhichao was not used to seeing him not kneeling. Even so, he asked, "Where did Mr. Lin come from? Where is the township gate?"

Lin Yuan said, "I'm from Pyongyang. I'm from the capital city. I have studied in England."

The two sat down as guests and hosts, and a servant served tea, which was not drinkable.Everyone often hears a phrase: serving tea to see off guests is here. If the host feels that the conversation is over, he is embarrassed to let the guest go, so he will bring tea to invite the guest to drink. When the guest touches the tea, the servant He shouted: "See off the guests." In this way, the meeting between the host and the guest is over.

But these things don’t exist anymore in modern China, so Lin Yuan doesn’t understand them either. After walking in the sun for a long time, he was already thirsty, so he drank tea as soon as he brought it.The servant followed Ye Zhichao back from Pyongyang, still in shock, distracted by nothing, and didn't notice that the master didn't serve tea, so he yelled: "See off the guests."

Lin Yuan was taken aback by this, why did you chase me away when I first arrived?

Ye Zhichao was well-informed, and immediately saw that Lin Yuan didn't know this way, thinking that he had been in the West for a long time and didn't know these etiquettes, so he couldn't help admiring him even more.

Ye Zhichao smiled brightly, and said to the servant: "You go down first." Then he turned to Lin Yuan and said, "Mr. Lin, I don't know what's going on here?"

Lin Yuan thought that the business was important, and ignored the subsection just now, so he said: "I came here this time to give Ye Shuai a big gift!"

Ye Zhichao was taken aback. According to the rules of the officialdom, gifts are not discussed when meeting, and gifts are handed over through servants. He asked, "I don't know what kind of gift it is?"

Lin Yuan said: "My great gift is the heads of the [-] Japanese troops in Pyongyang!"

Ye Zhichao couldn't believe his ears, he said, "What does Mr. Lin mean?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I came from Pyongyang, and a shocking event happened in Pyongyang! Lieutenant General Yamagata Aritomo, commander of the Japanese First Army, Lieutenant General Katsura Katsura, commander of the Third Division, and Lieutenant General Gui Taro, commander of the Fifth Division. The head of the regiment, Lieutenant General Nozu Michikan, has been assassinated! The ammunition depot and granary of the Japanese army in Incheon Port were destroyed by the rebels. The Japanese army in North Korea is already running out of ammunition and food. If you go back to Pyongyang, aren't those [-] heads all in Ye Shuai's hands?"

Ye Zhichao's heart moved. He couldn't be sure whether Lin Yuan's words were true or not. The Qing army knew nothing about the situation in Pyongyang now, and the Japanese army must block the news of the commander's death. Ye Zhichao thought to himself: "This Lin Yuan , wouldn’t it be a trick for the Japanese army?”

Lin Yuan knew that Ye Zhichao was hesitating, so he said again: "Ye Shuai must be suspecting that what I said is false, well, let's not talk about this for now, Ye Shuai knows, how do the common people evaluate Ye Shuai for abandoning the city? "

Ye Zhichao heard the words, heaved a long sigh, and said: "How else can I comment, it's just that I, Ye Mou, are cowardly and cowardly!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Ye Shuai's expectations are true, but I can understand Ye Shuai's difficulties. Ye Shuai abandoned the city because the Pyongyang defenders ran out of ammunition and food, and the Japanese army has surrounded Pyongyang on all sides. Mudan Terrace and Xuanwu Gate are lost, if you don’t retreat, the whole army may be wiped out! That’s why Ye Shuai ordered the retreat. I don’t know if what I said is true?”

Ye Zhichao sighed and said: "Mr. Lin's words are very true. The roads in North Korea are rough. Our army has accumulated a large amount of food and military equipment in Uiju, and we are unable to transport it to Pyongyang. In addition, a small group of Japanese troops has appeared in Uiju, so the transfer is even more difficult. Pyongyang City , Food is scarce, and ammunition is running out, so I proposed to abandon the city and retreat north."

Lin Yuan said: "Ye Shuai, I can understand your difficulties, but those rumor officials, the saints in the Forbidden City in Beijing, can the Empress Dowager Lafayette understand you? Especially the Empress Dowager Lafayette, she will be her sixth birthday in a month. Tenth birthday, if you throw away Pyongyang and fill in the gap for Lafayette, can she spare you?"

Ye Zhichao's heart moved, this Lin Yuan really said that his heart was gone!

Lin Yuan said again: "Ye Shuai, if you lose the battle, there must be someone to take the blame and quell the people's grievances. If you sit and guard Jiulian City, you will be a defeated general who abandoned the soil, and the history will be ashamed! But if you send troops to North Korea, Take Pyongyang, conquer Seoul! You are the number one hero of the Qing Dynasty’s 300-year defense of the border! The balance between the two, which one do you choose?"

Ye Zhichao clenched his fists, pondered for a long time, slapped the table hard, and said, "Come here, clean up the remnants and return to Pyongyang!"

(About Ye Zhichao’s abandonment of the city, the usual point of view is: Ye Zhichao was greedy for life and afraid of death. This article adopts the view of Mr. Chen Yue, an expert on modern Chinese history, in the book "The Sunken Jiawu". Ye Zhichao abandoned the city because he ran out of ammunition and food.)
